It's A Mystery...But What Is It?

      This isn't a case of who done it.  It's more of a 'what is it'?  I took a picture with my trusty, little digital camera recently...and this is what came out.  I know what it is.  After all, I took the picture.  Can you tell what image I shot?  Look carefully...look closely.  You may be able to figure it out...then again, maybe you can't.  I don't know if any of you will be able to figure it out.  As a matter of fact, I'm so sure no one will come up with the correct answer, I'm willing to put a prize on the line.  I anyone can tell me what this is a picture of...no hints...as much as I love cookies, I'll bake up a batch of my grammy's old fashioned cookies and send them to you.  Now, when was the last time you heard of a cookie beggar willing to part with some of his favorite treats?  Leave as many guesses as you'd like...list them in the comments below.  In the event of a tie, which I know is not going to happen, the names will go into a hat and one will be drawn out as the winner of those cookies I'm offering as a prize.  Should no correct answer be given, I'll reveal what this is a picture of on Halloween...and I'll eat those cookies myself!  Now, go for it.  Tell me what you think this is......http://media-files.gather.com/images/d906/d268/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

OMG, my brain is hurting. I'll be back pretty soon. I know you are sitting there laughing at us. And it's probably as simple as.............................................................

The light in your fridge. (That's my last guess for now.
Lynn R. Oct 29, 2008, 9:40am EDT
Okay one more, the light in your oven or microwave.

It's a UFO that attacked and took your herd of cattle!!!

And you're only offering cookies as a reward!?! I guess you don't like Jersey cows all that much, do you!? I hope Congress and the Air Force investigates the sky above your house and possible hidden cow paddies (sold to Peter to use as Frisbees at his annual raise the lake levels beer fest).

Or
A blob of Sol on grey shag carpet that is magically fire retardant.

Um, Yeah! :)

It's a pad you use on your tap shoes whenever you're not wearing tails and doing Fred Astaire dance routines. This is why your neighbor has a telescope pointed at your window trying to figure out if your Pro America, Socialist or part of the Blue Man group.

Heather L. Oct 31, 2008, 9:25pm EDT
and what is the answer?????
Rob Appell Oct 31, 2008, 11:59pm EDT
For those of you wondering what this is, check out my post '......AND THE WINNER IS......' for the answer! I revealed the identity this afternoon in that article.
